Born in Winnipeg in 1909, Winter received his art training under LeMoine FitzGerald at the Winnipeg School of Art. He moved to Toronto in 1937 where he established the advertising firm of Wookie, Winter and Bush. He exhibited his work widely, including 19 exhibitions at Roberts Gallery, Toronto beginning in 1959.
